It really sucks, just buy a cali-car duster and run over it every once in a while (when it's clean), black cars just collect dust and grime like no other, I can detail the SS or the stang and take it for a 10 minute cruise and the damn rear bumper will be covered in dust and dirt.

Ha, ha. Black cars don't collect dust anymore than any other car. It just that you can see it easier. My red Dakota is definitely filthier than my garage kept Camaro but it actually looks cleaner even though it sits in the drive.

That stuff is the WORST stuff on the market! It doesn't do a damn thing!
All I can say about pollen is keep the car dusted off and wipe it down each nite. There is nothing that will repell it.

I hate pollen, I will wash my car and before I can move it back into the garage it will be green. My windows get the worst though.

www.fk1usa.com Look at #425. Many of us detailers who are actively in the game have had some success with this. Its "anti-static" and repels dust and pollen pretty well. Just food for thought. Finish Kare has excelent products. My favorites are pink wax, 2180 sealant and #425 to use as a combo.

Zaino products have exellect anti-static properties. Zaino actually "repels" dust/pollen to some degree, where as most waxes "attract" dust/pollen. I haven't heard much about Menzerna, Wolfgang, Sonus, etc. as far as anti-static properties, but I imagine they are pretty good at repelling dust. But all these products are a bit spendy. I guess you get what you pay for. BTW that Teflon stuff is crap...it doesn't even have teflon in it.
